How do you know what resistance bands to buy?
24300
If you have never used a resistance band or resistance cable... for me the best kind to use are the tube designed ones with handles. It really comes in handy when you are rowing. I have used the type of resistance band that does not have a handle and it can be a bit difficult when wrapping the band around your feet to row (the kind with the handles come in handy). The resistance level is your choice. I will just say that it will be important to have a starting point, but if you stick with this exercise and diet program... by the end of the week you will be able to use heavier weights and resistance bands too! My first week I lost 6.5 lbs! I am thrilled thus far with my results. I hope this information helps you!

Just go with your own fitness level. I generally use a medium one but on some of the moves a stronger one offers more resistance. However, on some of the moves you really have to stretch the band to the limit and the medium works great !!!! I tried with a stronger one but it was too tight and required too much effort. I couldn't get the stronger one to stretch enough to effectively perform the move.

I used Gold's Gym ones I got at Wal-Mart or Target. They aren't the same as the ones they use in the video, but as long a you have a band I don't think it makes a big difference.

I bought mine from wal-mart. They're the tube like ones with handles. You could adapt with any resistance band, really.

I would just buy whatever is good for you. You might want to buy 2 bands and then you can use an easier and harder, as you like. There is no requirement for how difficult the band is, but you want something you can do repetitive exercises with without burning out your arms and legs right away.

Honestly from what I can tell, the only difference is the one for $144.80 includes the resistance band. I bought the one for $94.85 and it included all 11 DVDs, a toning band, the nutrition guide, the workout calendar, the measuring tape, the 5 day inferno plan & total access to the team beach body website. you can get a resistance band from Target or Wal-Mart for like $5.

I want I say there was a small one. It's been a while since I bought it. You can google exercises to do with these specific bands

I just had both my knees replaced so learned many at physical therapy. They use them on almost any and all issues. There are books that help you target certain areas. I have several on my kindle from from amazon so they go with me every where. I need major toning and I see they help with that as well. You can also google resistance bands and lots come up. The variety pack is great. You want to start off at the correct level and work up as you strengthen the area or correct the issue. I also use them to hold down ice packs on my knees... Love these things.

I've never thought about that. I think the biggest thing for you to look at is the weight capacity of the resistance bands amd the elasticity of them. This pullup assist are fairly flexible and the individual bands are designed to work together for beter leverage and support. However, if you feel you are able to use resistance bands w/o injury or breakage then save you money and go with what you own. I would use a lower resistance level so you rely more on your own body and adjust the straps' lengths as you get better.

For $4 more I would definitely go with the 96. After my yellow band failed, I ordered another set. This worked out great since now I have two sets of handles. The combination of the two sets allows me to change my resistance in smaller increments. I am a 61 yr. old male and loving them. Been using them three years now.

Yes, you can change the resistance. The resistance bands come in different weights (I believe it starts at 2.5 lbs and each band is graded from Level 4 to Level 9. Each level represents an increase in resistance of approximately 2.5 pounds compared to the previous level. Level 5 is standard equipment that came with my chair. I purchased the other levels all in one package). I love this chair! It has helped tremendously with my flexibility and stretching. I am not stiff all the time like I used to be (especially after sitting for long periods of time at work). I actually take a band to work with me and use my feet to hold it down. I work alone on third shift as a helpdesk rep. I highly recommend this chair!

I got everything except the added resistance bands. I really don't use them, so it was an issue for me.

yes - i use them for that also! added bonus use of the straps - my trainer showed me how to use this and since there are three different bands - you can work up to the thickest band for more resistance.

Hey, i advise you to go to the website and get more details on the body bands. I think they are great!

I would say starting out you should use 5 lbs and under. What is good about this is that it comes with a really great intro-moderate resistance band. I used this band for the program and got great results, so just starting out you don't need to by anything extra.

The weight ratings can be found using the link below: https://beachbody.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/260/kw/resistance%20bands/~/resistance-bands---weight My P90X3 kit came with orange (25 lbs), yellow (35 lbs) and blue (45 lbs) resistance bands.

I use the following: Stamina 50-Pound Versa-Bell II Adjustable Dumbbell PairI purchased these from Amazon. They randomly go on sale for $189.99, which is a steal.Use nukeprice.com to keep an eye on it.

I don't know one brand from the next. We use the bands (the strongest) every day without problems. The price was right and shipping was prompt. Werner

All 3 bands are the same length. They just vary in degree of resistance they provide.

these bands are 3 different strengths, light, medium, and heavy, they are not weights but ressitent bands, used differently than weights, so getting these bands can be used very safely and will work for all types of work-outs using bands, hope this helps
